GIANT MN logo!

[PlentyOfPubeGardens]

Every so often I'll click on a thread or topic and get the MN logo filling the whole screen. Refreshing the page makes it all go normal again. Anyone else?

Desktop site, Windows 7, Firefox 47.0.1

Me too!!

I'm on Safari on an iPad

Me too safari and chrome on iPad and iPhone

Oh god I'm glad it's not just me. I thought I might be having some sort of brain fart

It's quite funny and harmless (I hope!) as MN glitches go but MNHQ probably need to know it's happening.

Look at the other threads in site stuff, particularly the porn one. They're trying to fix a much bigger problem and this is symptomatic of it. Sadly, it doesn't seem harmless.

Yes! It's HUGE! And the text below it is simple text like when you don't have enough broadband for a full site. But then click back and onto it again and it's normal.

Weird.

I'm using Chrome on an old Mac.

Yep, me too. Chrome (newest version) on a laptop running windows 10.

I blamed my laptop. It is big though. Massive in fact.

same here
om Macbook and chrome, all updated

Me too, yesterday & today.

Laptop, windows 7, chrome.

Yeah I keep getting this. Laptop, Chrome. It could be worse - it could be porn. Sympathies to those with that problem.

Same here, MacBook that's a couple of years old on Safari, been happening for a while, just had one in the last 5 mins. Very odd.

Me too - Chrome, Desktop

Im getting this too. When i click on threads sometimes i get the big logo. Its like the page you get on your mobile when you click on MN but it comes up with that page if youve run out of credit.

But it does it to me on Google Chrome on the laptop.

I get this a lot in the last few days. MacBookPro here, using Google Chrome, all updated too.

Same here iPad safari. Got it earlier but thought I had accidently swiped it to enlarge ! But this time I went to open a thread and giant MN came up instead.

I hadn't thought it could be linked, ShowOfHands. I think the style sheet isn't loading so the logo isn't told what size it should be and all the text below is unformatted.

I dunno, I'm adblocked, pop-up blocked and no-scripted to the hilt and the only obvious security-type problems I've had were a couple of 'threat blocked' messages on Avast a week or so ago.

Maybe the style sheet contains something dodgy? Or maybe tech are turning it off very briefly now and again to try to isolate the other problems?

It hasn't happened this morning, yet.

I've been getting it too. Interesting it might be linked to that dodgy link thing. I'm ad-blocked, pop up blocked etc too.

It's really annoying, get the big logo, hit back, wait an age for the page to load again, then wait to click before the whole page leaps about, it's infuriating.

Happening here, too. Safari on ipad. I thought I was just a loading issue too.

Interesting - I've got a Chromebook and there's no antivirus software to download. But, it's been shutting itself down a lot recently. Presumably it's detecting and dealing with something it's finding?

Same here - desktop, Chrome and desktop Firefox.

Also adblocked and pop-up blocked.

I've noticed Mumsnet has become really adblock unfriendly though lately. The page still jumps after it loads and has done for months and months.

The last I heard, tech had said it happens to people who use adblock, but I'm not prepared to stop using it, because the site becomes really slow without it.

Yes, I'm also ad-blocked and pop-up-blocked.

And no, I won't change it for the same reason as Worra

I won't disable adblock on MN because it appears to be a massive security risk. I've said before I'd be happy to pay a small subscription for a truly ad-free version because I do appreciate that MNHQ need to make money.

I occasionally wonder why so many companies try to track me when I use this site (according to my avast web thingy). It's 11 at the moment, it was 12 an hour ago. Far higher than anywhere else I go online.

Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Lotame, AudienceScience Inc., Google GPT, Quantcast, Doubleclick, Skimlinks, Scorecard Research and Google GTM

I get it that the site is free to use and we are therefore the 'product' but I think it's a bit like farming in that you have to look after your product's welfare a bit if you want to stay profitable. If you leave people your product open to malware because ad revenue, if you allow people your product to be tracked by the entire internet and its hilarious cat, if you just shrug and count the clicks while we are overrun by goady fuckers who have been encouraged here from the DM ... people your product will just bugger off elsewhere and you will no longer have a community that every advertiser wants to reach.

Sorry for the essay, there's a few things that have been bothering me for a while.

I get this too.

The jumping issue is also still happening...

We are subliminal marketing you. Subtle, eh?

Really sorry about this. That does sound v strange. We're going to flag this up with Tech and ask what's going on.
